The global position of Iran’s scientific products in material technology – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

According to the Mehr news agency, citing the Islamic World Science and Technology Citation and Monitoring Institute (ISC), Mohammad Mahdi Alavian-Mehr, the head of this institute, emphasized the centrality of advanced materials in the development of technology and national economy and said: Advanced materials are the key to developing technology and generating wealth in countries.

He considered the field of advanced material technology to include metals, ceramics, polymers and advanced composites as well as their manufacturing and production processes.

The head of the Islamic World Science and Technology Reference Institute (ISC) noted: Access to most advanced technologies, including aerospace, renewable energy, microelectronics, and biotechnology, requires access to advanced materials and related technologies.

According to Alavian Mehr, due to the strategic importance of this field and the efforts of the presidential science and technology vice president, the “Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Development Headquarters” has been formed with the aim of organizing, helping to promote production, commercialization, technology development and related infrastructures.

He stated: The Islamic Republic of Iran, with the aim of maintaining its political, cultural, economic and scientific independence, is taking steps towards achieving advanced material technologies. National authority depends on attention to science and technology, which is not limited to the production of knowledge, but must be used in daily life and country management. According to the national plans being compiled, there is a special focus on the development and use of advanced material technologies, and it is expected that Iran’s position in the use of these technologies will improve.

According to the mentioned materials, it is very important to review and analyze the scientific position in advanced material technologies in the prestigious global rankings.
